Measurement of the exclusive Υ production cross-section in pp collisions at √{s}=7 TeV and 8 TeV

A study is presented of central exclusive production of Υ(nS) states, where the Υ(nS) resonances decay to the µ +µ − final state, using pp collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment. The cross-section is measured in the rapidity range 2 < y(Υ) < 4.5 where the muons are reconstructed in the...
